David Arthur Waller (born 10 June 1961) is an English Bishop of the Roman Catholic Church. Since 2024, Waller has been the ordinary of the Personal Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham. He was formerly a priest in the Church of England before converting to Catholicism in 2011. As he is celibate, he was eligible to be consecrated as a Catholic bishop unlike his predecessor as ordinary.
